Schilling lost to Weaver and the Angels 4-2 on August 6, in his first start since coming off the disabled list. In six innings against the Orioles (August 12), Schilling did not record a strikeout. In his last start, Weaver held the Twins to five hits and two earned runs in 7.1 innings.

It's likely that Bobby Kielty will be called up (and Jacoby Ellsbury sent down) before tonight's game.

Got into Newark yesterday and got a rental car, drove down to Camden/Philly for a concert (Ratdog/Allman Brothers) - what a fucking awful drive, apparently in Jersey you can only make a left every 5 miles or something.

Anyway, great concert, back in Newark now for the night and flying back tomorrow afternoon. Going to head into the city now, my first time in NYC. Should be a good'urn, eh!

Maybe I'll make a trip up to the Bronx around 7pm and laugh at Yankee fans after the spanking they'll receive this afternoon, if all goes as expected.

At the show yesterday, I found out the score was 5-4 in the top of the 9th and knew Paps had closed out the day game, so figured the Gagger would be in. I honestly went back to the hotel expecting a loss. And boy was I right.

"i have no idea what your problem is, why you need to resort to personal insults. so you feel differently. obviously, if you read my piece, so do i. but if you listened to any talk radio, read the newspaper columns, you would have known that when gagne blew the second game, there was a certain amount of hysteria in the air. even if you don't agree, this is a dispute about baseball and doesn't justify the kind of nasty, immature putdowns. you are obviously a baseball man more suited to talk radio than civilized discourse. mark"

Tim: Thanks for sharing the reply. I was gong to suggest anyone anyone mailing him be polite, but fuck it.

I like how he bases his Sox hysteria argument on listening to people on talk radio, then dismisses you by saying you're more suited for talk radio. So he admits basing his entire column on uncivilized discourse.

Bush was actually quoting Jesus when he said that. A while back, someone went through a ton of Bush's terrorism speeches from 01-03 and noted numerous references to scripture (many of the exacting revenge sort, thus having Bush put himself in the position of God metting out punishment on his enemies). It was both creepy and interesting, certainly giving strong evidence to the idea of US-backed religious crusade (a phrase which Bush has slipped and used a couple of times).

dont be a douche-bag, they have a lot of come from behinds this year due to a-rods great season. youre making me argue for the yankees...which in itself is rediculous.all im saying is that YOU CAN NEVER COUNT THEM OUT. dont be so fucking litteral, jeez.go look up yr stats now...

whats the saying? "numbers: you can make them say whatever you want." to quote mazz.listen, all i know is that i watch every sox game AND every yankee game, and to ME it always seems that any oppositions lead is never safe when it comes to the yanks. i can attest as to how many times ive been pissed cause a team blows a lead vs. them.happy?and stop caring so much about what i say.

back to reality, anyone hear about tavarez starting on sunday? is that to have a better pitching matchup vs the yanks?

Thanks for the lineups. Not sure why Tito always seems to sit at least two starters when he rests someone (Lowell and DP tonight).

Just a reminder for everybody as I head back to work:

1. Be civil. If you disagree with something, discuss the comment, not the commenter. ...

1a. Continued inability to act in a civilized manner will result in your being banned. If you are banned, you are banned forever, even if your later attempts to comment conform to the rules. It's not my job to teach you how to act like an adult.

2. If you make a claim, someone may ask you to back it up with some evidence. Do not be offended; you are not being attacked. We like facts.

I'm not trying to be a know-it-all. I'm just noting that the Yankees do not come back and win all that often in the late innings, even though it seems like they do (or you remember those games more because it pissed you off).

Also, their record doesn't change the way you feel while watching this (or another) game. Plus those records don't take into account "trailing after 5 innings".

not to nit-pick, but comebacks arent always in late innings. ive seen a lot of games where opposing teams scorea ton of runs in the fourth, and the yanks comeback and take the lead, whether they end up winning or not, sometimes yes, sometimes no. comebacks dont always mean wins i.e. last night. thats all i meant, i'll write that next time to make myself 1000% clear.

I have to agree with Nixon33 on that last one. How many times do we look at a Yankees score during a game, they are behind, then the next time we look, boom, they are ahead? (Please don't go look it up.) I would say it's A LOT of times.

That doesn't mean they always win those games and it doesn't mean the Sox don't do it too. But just b/c NYY is behind at some point means nothing. I share the same perception.

What I hate is the Globe writers being on the pre-game show. It is always the same Edes, Carfado, CHB and Benjamin (who I like actually). It is always the Globe people and what really grinds my teeth is they fail to mention how the freaking Globe own 17 % of the Sox and NESN.

We never see or hear any of the other beat writers from the other papers. I would like to here Buckley, Massorati or Bradford once in a while.

The author of works on subjects as wide-ranging as Alfred Hitchcock, 9/11, opera, Christianity, Lenin and David Lynch, Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek is one of the most important—and outrageous—cultural theorists working today. This captivating, erudite documentary explores the eccentric personality and esoteric work of this incomparable academic and writer who has been called everything from "the Elvis of cultural theory" to "a one person culture mulcher".

I just hate the NESN-Globe Exclusive, especially since it is due to their part ownership of the team etc. Factor in the fact the globe is owned by the NY Times and you soon realize why it always comes back to the Yankees.

Ex. - Even when the Yankees were in last place this year, the NESN pre game had some type of Yankee update.

but YES does the same thing with the sox.its weird with my direct tv mlb interactive feature on YES it has a scorebox in the corner of the screen that hangs there for about 10 seconds after you switch to YES that has the red sox and the RED SOX only score.talk about psychotic.

Although H. pylori is not generally thought of as invasive, it has been observed in the lamina propria and within vacuoles in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. The authors report that isolates of H. pylori can enter into the cytoplasm of tissue culture epithelial cell lines such as HEp-2 cells. Intracellular uptake of H. pylori by HEp-2 cells is rapid and appears to require both the N-acetylneuraminyllactose-binding adhesion and another factor present only in living bacteria.

side note for those of your in canada:how did you move there? what i mean is do you have to be canadian citizen? are you? etc? im getting the hell out of this undustrial pit named NYC and my destinations are england (TOO EXPENSIVE THOUGH)or canada...any thoughts?

Thank you very much! Still have alot left to do but its ready for action.

What's the deal? We're gonna move game threads in there? :(

Thats up to you guys. My original plan was to just let redsock use it for game threads and stuff. I'm not good with werds so hopefully someone will help with content. Its much more versatile than a blog set up.

I couldn't say. We had a real change of life when we moved here - we're staid suburban folk now.

Toronto is a nice city, seems to have a lot going on. There are lots of resources online you could check out though.

Montreal is a fabulous city, but it's very hard to live there and be well employed if you aren't bilingual. People do - but it would be hard. Also much harder to emigrate, you have to apply directly to Quebec, and they really want you to parlez francais.

Better to apply federally (to all of Canada), move to Toronto, then move to Montreal later if you want to.

There was one Manny moonshot HR where every single person behind the plate leapt to their feet, hands going crazy, but one woman in the first or second row stayed in her seat and just nodded her head once, maybe twice.

speaking of people behind the plate...who is the dude directly behind home? slightly to the right of a right handed batter, next to the aisle. he is at every home game. every home game. he's got some kind of streak going.
